CO-OPERATIVE-SOCIETY
ATTEND VARIOUS CHURCHES
Sunday morning, September 19th
about 30 members of the North Cov¬
ington Social and Co-Operative So¬
ciety by appointment, met at the court
house and marched iu a body to the
First Methodist church where they at¬
tended services. On a former occasion
they attended services at the North
Covington church.
First Sunday in October this organi¬
zation will meet at court house and
march to the Baptist church for ser¬
vice. Later they will attend service
at the Presbyterian church.
Since the organization of this so¬
ciety its members have visited most
every home in North Covington. They
have had one real nice lawn picnic
dinner and one first class barbecue
which hundreds engaged. The develop¬
ment of brotherly love and good fellow¬
ship among its members and dispens¬
ing such throughout the community has
been very noticeable.
To give and receive pleasure in ming¬
ling with our fellows is the third great¬
est gift from God to man. The dis¬
tressed have been relieved: the sick
have been visited; the sorrowing have
liven comforted, and ilie dead have
been buried by our membership. To
do these things we count if a privilege
in the dispensation of Providence.
Be ever ready, my brethren, to sow
good seed, to speak an encouraging
word, to offer a helping hand and a
l iving heart to whomsoever we may
serve and our own lives will be made
the sweeter and brighter

So he played ‘Humoresque"'—that laugh on life, with a tear behind i(
